Villain of the Season goes to...BARBRA! (Honorable mention: Tyler)
Though she was booted early on in the merge, I think Ms. Barbra was undoubtedly the biggest villain of this game. She threw name after name out there and everyone she could under the bus in a mad scramble to save herself, starting plenty of drama in the game and at Ponderosa as well.
Player of the Season goes to...TYLER!
Tyler probably played the best strategic game of this season, correctly sensing that he was likely on the bottom of OG Daloa and leading the charge to flip and get Brittany out, putting him in a much better position in the game. He also won 4 individual immunity challenges, more than anyone else this season.
Biggest Underdog goes to...TJ! (Honorable mention: Thea)
TJ was put in a bad spot from Day 1 when he was nearly voted out, and later merged in the minority. Despite being a target for most of the game (and getting more votes than anyone else), he survived tribal after tribal and never gave up until he was voted out just short of the end.
Best pre-merger goes to...AUSTIN!
Austin was definitely the biggest player that I didn't expect to go so early, finding the hidden immunity idol and getting rocked out in the same day. Hopefully he'll want to return for a future season and get a second chance.
